Has anyone been prosecuted in Thailand for failing to register for tax purposes?

Kool *******

@Michael **************

actually I am very correct. You might be technically a tax resident after 180 days in Thailand, but that does not mean you automatically must file. Far from it.

If you don't actually do any work in Thailand then don't worry about it. Thailand trusts that you paid your income tax on any money you bring in, until you prove them wrong. If you actually make money working in Thailand, not remote work, then you file Thai income tax.

Will my girlfriend's past visa overstay affect her eligibility for a DTV in Thailand?

Kool *******

passports are incidental. All someone's full history in Thailand is by facial recognition, and fingerprint/thumb print, at immigration. Overstay history is flagged in what comes up on their screens.

What banks in Bangkok are recommended for Americans with a non O visa to open a bank account?

Kool *******

Go to the Bangkok Bank main branch on SiLom road, then after getting an account there also get one at Kasikorn Bank. It is very convenient to have more than one account at different banks.

What are the tax implications of the 800,000 baht requirement for a Thai retirement visa?

Kool *******

don't believe all that hype. Thailand trusts you paid income tax on any money you bring into Thailand, until you prove them wrong, especially concerning retirement. All Thailand cares about is that there is a paper trail of all the money you bring here.

@Alexander ******

it varies. Not all embassies are the same. Some want two accounts, some don't, and, some want double the money in the account, and some don't.
